It's giving up, accepting monotony, rigidity and boredom for perceived security.

I feel a bit bad that someone things that this is what the suburbs are like.  IMHO, the suburbs make it possible to live close to a city (and still commute in), but be able to live in a quiet area, with a yard, with nature trails nearby.  This is my experience in Bethesda (20816) just 3 blocks from the border of DC at Western Avenue and Massachusetts Avenue (Westmoreland Circle).  We have a neighborhood pool that has made it fun to get to know our neighbors.  Our 3 kids have walked to school for grades K to 8.  We know everyone on our street, and our neighbors are lovely people (many of them are World Bank employees from around the world).  So the PP's experience with suburbs do not speak for all people.

In the U.S., we don't have awesome cities like they do in Europe.  Because of the way development has occurred in the U.S., the suburbs are the best place to live in the U.S.[/quote]
